Open Source Python File Tagging Software

Hydrus Network is a free, open-source media management application designed for organizing extensive personal collections of images, videos, audio, and other files. It uses a tag-based organization system rather than traditional folder hierarchies, making large libraries easier to explore. Users can import local files or download media and metadata from supported websites. Its customizable downloaders and subscriptions automate repeated searches and media collection. The application provides built-in image viewing and video playback through MPV or native Qt components. Hydrus also supports advanced searching, duplicate management, and anonymous tag sharing through user-operated servers. Available for Windows, Linux, and macOS through source installation, it emphasizes privacy, local control, and flexible media organization.

Tag, search (e.g., by similarity), manage data collections of your choosing. Currently optimized for music and image data. Uses sha1 hashes for identification. Please use additional programs such as: IrfanView (http://www.irfanview.com) and MPC (https://mpc-hc.org) for media handling and a console with unicode support, like ConEmu (https://conemu.github.io).

Standalone application that uses the clipboard to insert a tag in any document and/or in a log file. Tags contain context information (e.g., date, author) + text note, picture or webcam shot. Tags can contain variables generated by user and/or external programs.

IMPORTANT: Refractag was later renamed to Inferact. Please use the latter for improved functionality. File-tagging for Windows and Linux. Terminal interface only, for now.

This library and tools help you to keep tags for files in an external database. As few external dependencies as possible are needed, making it a lightweight file tagging solution.
